    You know this is a crazy take, right? Mahomes won MVP last year with essentially the same quality of offense. Of course they’d struggle a bit with his #1 playmaker on offense sidelined.

    This is a “regress all Mahomes TDs to the mean” level hater comment. What’s more likely, Mahomes is average at best and has been propped up by playmakers on offense (including last year without Tyreek), or Mahomes is great and has seriously subpar talent to work with on offense?

    Hang on, is this Kadarius Toney making this post? Shit, now it makes sense.

      Get off Lemmy, Patrick, and go learn how to lead a receiver and not cry like Lebron on the sidelines. Maybe also don’t scramble left, throw it back across the field, and then roll your eyes when the play fails and you don’t get a flag in your favor.

          No, no, he has a point. It’s Patrick’s fault Toney couldn’t catch Covid 19 at an anti-vax convention the way he was playing last night. 🙄

          Not trolling. Most starting nfl qbs are capable of greatness with the right team around them. Look at Russel Wilson as an example. MVP seasons on a great team, utter garbage on a bad one. It will happen to Mahomes at some point, and when it does I want you to think of me.

            Yes, players regress as they get older. Sometimes it’s gradual and sometimes it’s a cliff. There’s tons of examples of elite players who wake up one day and just don’t have it anymore. So yeah, Mahomes will one day become average, and then subpar, and then no longer able to compete at an NFL level. But right now he’s arguably the best quarterback of this generation.
